Comment: Noooo...it's about trainning us all for Humiliation techniques
and trainning us for what's to come in the near future as such measures
will be used on us "The Public" in everyday life wherever we go.

Into a shopping store, into a mall, into sporting events, checkpoints
without warrants...just trainning the public as if this is all normal
when it is teaching us to Love our own enslavement and making us like &
love our own shackles.

Because these measures will be soon used on the Streets of America and
other nations all together....they are getting us READY for it and to
Enjoy the tyranny.


Stop virtual strip-search

Body scanners are a virtual strip-search that Americans should not be
subjected to. They offer very little security value in return for the
cost to our dignity and privacy.

Let's be clear: The body scanners - known as "backscatter" - are X-ray
devices that expose us to radiation. And the government has not
carefully studied what long-term effects that radiation will have on
frequent fliers, or even casual ones.

But of more immediate concern, they create incredibly graphic images of
our naked bodies. Those images will reveal not only our private body
parts, but also intimate medical details such as colostomy bags or the
effects of a mastectomy.

The government is now touting its ability to hide these revealing
images. The problem is that masking the revealing images is likely to
degrade the very pictures of weapons and explosives that the X-rays are
supposed to find. In other words, to have any potential security value,
they are going to need to be graphic. How long will it be before the TSA
succumbs to the pressure to go back to exposing the full image?

And the inconvenient truth is that the government has a very poor track
record of keeping Americans' personal information private. It is sadly
predictable that the body image of a famous person, or even ordinary
people, will be sold for profit or perverse amusement. Even a few such
incidents will make us all feel more exposed and could have a
devastating effect on our very fragile airline industry.

I have no doubt we would be marginally safer if we were all forced to
fly naked. But that's just not something that Americans would accept -
and neither should they accept this machine.

There are less intrusive technologies for detecting explosives. One
example is explosive detection portals, which blow air on passengers and
look for molecules of explosives. That kind of a technology is where the
government should be focusing its resources and public relations
efforts.

We don't need to fly naked to be safe.

I do want to be safe and it looks like other technology would do the
trick anyway.

Yeah, I agree that these machines should be put to rest/death and
another type of machined used in their place.

Just my OHpinion.

Verb

see the movie"Total Recall"???

that is the kind of technology we needs here and now!!!

just walk thru that machine,
and it will see whatever you are hiding under your clothes!

then I'll think about flying again....M.

You know it was Bush's brother or some other stupid cracker that came up
with this idea, just to get more $$$ for government testing.

yeah I have heard of this, but it's just an airport security machine
where do the stores and malls and shit come in?

oh wait that's everyday life wherever we go......................I doubt
that

Can I get a job as an X-Ray Technician so I can see threw women's close
for (Supposed Bombs) but really getting off on see then naked?

Cool!!!!!!

I don't care how much it pays either. Just as long as I can see some
evil twat trying to smuggle some plastic boobs to blowup an airplane.
